Hi, r/QueensofGacha! 👋💕

Thank you for welcoming us!

We’re LemonVelvet, a four-person indie team from South Korea, and we brought some summer-themed illustrations from our game, ZombiSeed! ☀️🌸

ZombiSeed is a post-apocalyptic romance game set in a world devastated by the mysterious zombie virus Blossom. You play as a Teacher at an academy for Hunters — people with supernatural abilities who fight against the infected.

And if you’re wondering why blood packs keep showing up... 🩸😂

Hunters need fresh blood to keep themselves from going berserk, so blood packs are a pretty normal part of their everyday lives!

Hope you enjoy our little summer collection! ☀️💕

Which one is your favorite? 👀

🌟 ZombiSeed Kickstarter Pre-Orders are now live!

Hi, r/GachaHusbandos! 🍋

(Posted with moderator approval.)

We’re LemonVelvet, a four-person indie team from South Korea, and we’ve spent the past two years developing ZombiSeed—a story-driven joseimuke (female-oriented) Visual Novel × turn-based Card Battle RPG planned for Android and iOS.

Some of you may remember an earlier community post about ZombiSeed. We were genuinely happy and grateful to see the interest in our male MC—and the maid outfits! 😂

However, that post was based on information available during an earlier stage of development, and some details no longer accurately reflect the game. We wanted to share an official update to clarify its current premise, platforms, and relationship structure.

In a world devastated by the mysterious “Blossom” virus, infected humans become beautiful but deadly Flower Zombies. You play as the new Teacher of Class S at an elite Hunter Academy, surviving alongside five male students and one fellow teacher while uncovering their secrets, trauma, fractured relationships, and the truth behind the apocalypse.

Players can customize the protagonist’s name and choose either a male or female MC. The six central male characters are Lee Seoyoon, Kwon Daham, Kim Yohan, Kim Yul, Ren, and Floyd Owen.

To clarify, ZombiSeed is not a BL game, traditional otome game, or dating sim, and it does not feature romance routes. Instead, it explores different forms of affection and emotional connection, including trust, devotion, found family, rivalry, grief, and bonds that gradually deepen.

The MC also shares character-focused Card Stories and emotionally close moments with the cast, with some dynamics intentionally left open to personal interpretation.

Current information:

1. Customizable male or female MC
2. Five male students and one fellow teacher
3. Korean voice acting for Card Stories
4. English and Korean text
5. Planned for Android and iOS
6. Free English PC demo available now

The current demo focuses on the Visual Novel and story portion of the game, so card battles are not included in this build.

Our Kickstarter campaign is scheduled to launch on September 10, 2026, and its pre-launch page is currently available for anyone who would like to follow the project.

Thank you very much for reading. We’re happy to answer any questions or clarify anything else about the project.

Hi everyone! 🍋 We’re LemonVelvet, a four-person indie team from South Korea developing ZombiSeed. Some of you may remember our previous character introduction posts here—thank you again for the warm response!

We’re excited to share that ZombiSeed’s Kickstarter pre-launch page is now live, ahead of the full campaign launch on September 10, 2026. If the game catches your eye, clicking “Notify me on launch” would mean so much to our tiny team! 🌸

ZombiSeed is a story-driven joseimuke (otome-adjacent) Visual Novel × turn-based Card Battle RPG planned for Android and iOS. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the mysterious “Blossom” virus transforms infected people into beautiful but deadly Flower Zombies.

You play as a Teacher at an elite Hunter Academy. You can choose the protagonist’s name and gender, then survive alongside five male students and one fellow teacher while uncovering their secrets—and the truth behind the apocalypse.

While ZombiSeed is female-oriented and otome-adjacent, it is not a traditional romance-route otome or dating sim. Instead, its emotional core lies in deep, evolving relationships shaped by trust, conflict, trauma, found family, and different forms of affection. Expect survival, mystery, angst, and plenty of beautiful characters! 💖

The four of us have been working on ZombiSeed for the past two years, so we’re incredibly happy to finally share this milestone with you. We’d love to know which character—or which part of ZombiSeed’s world—catches your eye!

Hi everyone!

About a month ago, I shared our first game, The Dawn of a Flower, here and briefly mentioned our next project. This time, I’d like to properly introduce ZombiSeed now that its free English PC demo is available.

We’re LemonVelvet, a four-person indie team from South Korea, and we’ve been developing ZombiSeed for the past two years.

ZombiSeed is a story-driven Visual Novel × turn-based Card Battle RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by the mysterious “Blossom” virus, which transforms infected humans into beautiful but deadly Flower Zombies.

You play as a newly assigned Teacher at an elite Hunter Academy. The protagonist’s name and gender can be customized, and the story follows their struggle to survive alongside five students and one fellow teacher while uncovering the cast’s secrets, fractured relationships, and the truth behind the apocalypse.

Although the full game combines visual-novel storytelling with turn-based card battles, its characters and narrative are at the heart of the experience. The current ~30-minute demo focuses entirely on the Visual Novel and story portion, so card battles are not included in this build.

We also discovered that someone had already added the demo release to VNDB before we got around to it ourselves—which honestly made our day. Thank you, mystery contributor! 😂

If you try the demo, we’d love to hear your honest thoughts on the premise, atmosphere, English presentation, or character dynamics.

Hi everyone! 🍋 We’re back with Part 3 of the character design evolution for our Zombie Apocalypse School Fantasy game, ZombiSeed!

Today, I've brought two characters whose designs and relationship dynamics shifted in completely unexpected ways during development.

🐺 Yohan (The Sluggish & Aloof Student)"You're the new teacher... I remembered."

Dev Trivia: I honestly thought Yohan’s design barely changed—until I pulled up his initial sketches! He actually ended up looking much younger. I can't reveal too much lore just yet, but Yohan has a very special relationship with Yul. By making Yohan younger, their entire dynamic completely reversed, which even led us to change his official age!

🐆 Yul (The Calm & Diligent Leader)"I have come to escort you, Teacher."

Dev Trivia: Originally, Yul was designed to be an even more stoic, steadfast, and flawless character. But as Yohan's character arc shifted (and he became younger), Yul's sharp gaze naturally softened to match their new relationship. Oh, and that little triangle mark under his eye? That's his official charm point! ✨

👉 Swipe to see their before-and-after sketches! (I’ve also included another beautiful but eerie 'Flower Zombie' CG at the end 🥀)

Does anyone else love when character dynamics completely flip during the writing process? Let me know which design you prefer in the comments!

🚨 Sneak Peek: Next time, we’ll be back with a full, official introduction to the gameplay and world of ZombiSeed, so please look forward to it! 🧟‍♀️✨

We are currently polishing up the game for our upcoming Kickstarter.

Hi everyone! 🍋 Welcome back to our character design evolution series for our Zombie Apocalypse School Fantasy game, ZombiSeed!

Today, we’re showing off two more of our main cast members—including one who probably went through the most drastic transformation in the entire game.

🐰 Ren (The Cheeky but Unhateable Student)

"You were actually a bit useful this time. Weird teacher."

Dev Trivia: Ren was originally designed to have a very calm and quiet vibe. But as development went on, the character kind of took on a life of his own! We ended up adding a lot of bouncy, cheeky, and slightly tsundere traits to his personality, making him feel much more energetic and boyish in the final version.

🦁 Owen (The Gentle Advisor & Reliable Fellow Teacher)

"I'll be helping you out for now, so please don't worry too much."

(But... is that really all there is to him? 👀)

Dev Trivia: Next to Seoyun, Owen went through the wildest transformation! To be completely honest, our Character Designer channeled ALL their personal tastes into him (ahem, long-haired men enthusiasts, make some noise! 🗣️). Because of that, elements from his initial draft—like the short hair, facial scars, and eyebrow slits—were completely scrapped. We think he was reborn as an incredibly unique and charming character!

👉 Swipe to see their before-and-after! (Also included a beautiful but tragic 'Flower Zombie' CG at the end 🥀)

So, are you Team Short Hair or Team Long Hair for Owen? Let us know in the comments! 🧟‍♀️✨

We are currently polishing up our game for the upcoming Kickstarter, and we'll have more exciting news to share soon. Stay tuned!

Hi everyone! I’m the solo developer behind the indie studio Lemon Velvet. Today, I want to share the story of my very first game, The Dawn of a Flower.

This project originally started as a small hobby while I was working a full-time job. A high school friend of mine suggested we make a visual novel together, and that journey eventually led me to be scouted by a game company. However, craving more creative freedom to tell my own stories, I decided to take the leap and start my own independent studio.

The Dawn of a Flower is a fusion historical romance set in a rich world where magic and ancient lore coexist. You follow the journey of a princess who has lived her entire life hidden away in a remote palace. After the sudden and mysterious death of her mother, she faces a grim fate: being sent away as a political hostage to a foreign land.

Refusing to be a pawn, she makes a dangerous choice—she disguises herself as a prince. To survive the treacherous political landscape and uncover the truth behind her mother's demise, she must navigate a web of secrets and lies.

Along the way, she becomes entangled with three very different men: a hot-headed tsundere prince, a sly and playful fox-like informant, and a sweet and caring general. Each of them holds their own hidden motives. The game strongly focuses on how your choices shape the narrative. Depending on the decisions you make, these men can become your greatest allies, dangerous enemies, or something much more intimate, leading to various branching endings.

(P.S. Honest note: As a small indie studio, we are well aware that our current English localization needs improvement. We are currently pouring our hearts into our next title, ZombiSeed, but we promise to completely overhaul and update the translation for The Dawn of a Flower this winter once ZombiSeed's development wraps up! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.)

If you enjoy historical romance with a twist of mystery, survival, and fantasy, the game is currently 30% off for the Steam Summer Sale!

Hi everyone! 🍋 We are LemonVelvet, a cozy 4-person indie studio developing ZombiSeed—a zombie apocalypse school fantasy that blends Visual Novel storytelling with Turn-Based Card Battles. (Fun fact: I'm the scenario writer, and our programmer is actually my underclassman from high school! lol)

(Quick note: While ZombiSeed isn't a traditional 1:1 romance otome, it is a Joseimuke/Otome-adjacent game heavily focused on deep bonds, survival, angst, and beautiful characters! We thought this community would appreciate the aesthetic and lore. 💖)

🌸 Not your typical gory zombie game:

In our world, the enemies are beautiful but eerie "Flower Zombies." They are infected by a plant-based virus that causes unknown flowers to bloom all over their bodies. When defeated, instead of blood and gore, they burst and scatter into beautiful flower petals! 🥀

Today, I wanted to introduce 2 out of our 6 main characters and show you guys how much their art has changed from the initial rough sketches to the final polished art!

🦊 Seoyun (The Sly & Mysterious Fox)

"You need to stay alert to survive, right? I want to keep seeing you for a long time, Teacher."

Dev Trivia: Seoyun changed the most from his initial draft! We kept adding "a spoonful of playfulness" and "fox-like charm" to his personality during development. To fit his new sly vibe, we completely reimagined his look—giving him striking blue hair, sharper eye shapes, and adding that signature beauty mark under his eye. The chic look in the original sketch was great, but his current fox-like charm is irresistible!

🐶 Daham (The Sweet Golden Retriever)

"Everyone gets lost their first time here. If it's okay with you, may I help?"

Dev Trivia: Daham was the very first reliable supporter character we planned. Initially, he had fluffy, full bangs for that gentle, "large puppy" vibe. But during a styling test, our character designer playfully parted his bangs to expose his forehead. It highlighted his warm, affectionate gaze so perfectly that it immediately became his official look!

👉 Swipe to see their before-and-after! (I also included a heartbreaking CG of the 'Flower Zombie' lore at the end 🥀)

Which character is more your type? The reliable golden retriever or the mysterious sly fox? Let us know! 🧟‍♀️✨

P.S. We are currently polishing up the game for our upcoming Kickstarter! Please check my comment below for more details and the link to our brand-new Twitter! 👇

There are so many top-tier routes in this game, but Sakyo is just chef's kiss.

The whole "beautiful avenger" trope is everything to me. He looks so elegant and fragile—almost like a flower—but we all know he's an absolute badass when things get serious (the ultimate gap-moe!).

And can we talk about the VOICE ACTING?! The way his tone drops and completely shifts when he gets unhinged or dead-serious... literal perfection.

Who completely stole your heart in Ken ga Kimi? I’d love to hear your favor

Looking at these games makes me so nostalgic. Fun fact: my ultimate favorite in the 1st game wasn't the main poster boy, but the secret character, Jin Tendo! He completely stole my heart.

Anyone else love him?
